It's true-Janie's point is the most important one---this list doesn't deserve our attention unless we know something of the criteria the alleged "experts" used in putting it together.

I agree completely with those who criticise "Sound of Music" 's inclusion. Even Christopher Plummer himself called it "The Sound of Mucus".

And how did "Silence of the Lambs" get in?

I'd put Rear Window much higher.    And I'd have Das Boot high on the list--amazing recreation of the hideous conditions on a sub -- the viewer seems to experience them-- --and from the German point of view.

West Side Story?--but not Man for All Seasons--which grapples with essential issues--and is a wonderful movie on top of that? Inexcusable.

And Amadeus--which also deals with crucial issues--would never fall off my list.

Far too many from the 70's--was that the "experts" teenage years? Since evidently that's one of the reasons people like certain pop music--it's based on their own memories.
